@TUTIMIO123 7D of course! :) But in all seriousness, what are you going to use it for? Need the 8fps, Weather sealing, 100% viewfinder, magnesium body, flash transmitter and more? You know, it's better to have a 60D with a good/excellent lens then a 7D with a kit lens.
@AlphaSphere Thank you so much! I would buy that lens without any doubt if it could attach filter. I love wide angle pictures (I have the sigma 10-20mm) but also I like to use my ND and CPL filters......one more question: how are the cornets wide open? how soft?
@serdelosreyes I dont pixel peep so i'm not 100% sure. The corners look fine to me. I don't have the 8-16mm anymore. I didn't like the stretching on both sides of the image and not being able to use filters was a pain. I'm now rocking the 11-16mm Tokina and I like it more then the Sigma. It's not as wide as the Sigma but if I want a really wide picture i just grab my 10-17mm Tokina fisheye.
@TokyoFreeze79 The stretching is only one of the things that I don't like about the lens. I need to be able to use an ND filter on it preferably my 77mm one cause all my other lenses are 77mm. After using the Sigma for a while I really missed having the 2.8 or lower aperture cause I also shoot inside.
I'm going insane trying to find the best wide-angle lens that's not a fisheye for my D3100. I was thinking about getting a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM, but apparently there is no switch on the Nikon fit for AF/M. Some guy on ebay is claiming to sell one new with the switch, but a Sigma rep said:
It does not have the AF/M switch as the AF and MF are controlled through the camera body on the Nikon mount.
@TokyoFreeze79 The Sigma 10-20mm, 8-16mm, Tokina 11-16mm are Ultra Wide Angle lenses (UWA) Just to clear things up. Regular wide angle lenses are around 24/28mm (35mm equivalent of-course)
There isn't really a best UWA lens IMO. It's down to what your needs are.
My Tokina 11-16mm suits my needs but it's not perfect.
I've got a full review up on the PhotographyREVIEW site as well as a demo video that compares it to other super-wide lenses. For what it's worth, I don't think AF speed matters that much with super-wide lenses like this since they have so much depth-of-field.
I wanna ask you with one should I buy canon 60d or 7d?

You didn't like the stretching? Why didn't you just use Adobe Lightroom or something to fix the distortion?

The Tokina just suits me better.

On such a wide angle lens, why does it matter how fast does it foucs? It makes not much difference in real life, like it is with a telephoto lens...

I will probably do a video to demonstrate how wide 8mm actually is. Don't expect a full on review anytime soon.

Do you plan on making a video review anytime soon? I'd certainly like it! :)
